Wireless LAN

Your device can detect and connect to wireless local area
networks (WLAN). Using a WLAN, you can connect your
device to the internet and compatible devices that have
WLAN support.

About WLAN

To use a wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, it must be
available in the location, and your device must be
connected to the WLAN. Some WLANs are protected, and
you need an access key from the service provider to
connect to them.
Note: There might be some restrictions for WLAN
use in some countries. Check with your local authorities
for more information.
Features that use WLAN, or that are allowed to run in the
background while using other features, increase the
demand on battery power and reduce the battery life.
Your device supports the following WLAN features:
● IEEE 802.11b/g standard
● Operation at 2.4 GHz
66
● Wired equivalent privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi protected access
(WPA/WPA2), and 802.1x authentication methods.
These functions can be used only if they are supported
by the network.
Important: Always enable one of the available
encryption methods to increase the security of your
wireless LAN connection. Using encryption reduces the
risk of unauthorised access to your data.

WLAN connections

To use a wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, you must create
an internet access point (IAP) for WLAN. Use the access
point for applications that need to connect to the internet.
A WLAN connection is established when you create a data
connection using a WLAN internet access point. The active
WLAN connection ends when you end the data
connection.
You can use WLAN during a voice call or when packet data
is active. You can only be connected to one WLAN access
point device at a time, but several applications can use the
same internet access point.
When the device is in the offline profile, you can still use
WLAN (if available). Remember to comply with any
applicable safety requirements when establishing and
using a WLAN connection.
Tip: To check the unique media access control (MAC)
address that identifies your device, open the dialler
and enter *#62209526#.
